Ok anybody got 2.6 running on their SPARC ultra1 out there?
I have had this baby running for a few weeks and all emergeed up.
ready to wander further back into Kernel land!!! Current Kernel linux-2.4.23-sparc-r1...

Thanks for all the help and for all the post that allow newbie to complete the task at hand!!!!

Sorry for the OT post, but i was thinking, why isnt there like a sparc.gentoo.org where we can have working conf files that people can d/l and what not? Bazik has a nice site with his hardware list and all, something like that would be sweet imo.

BTW, If anyone has a conf file for 2.6 smp on a sparc 20, im interested.

Im just curious (and by NO MEANS an expert) but why is it that with that sparc32 2.6.0 test 11 conf, that its netboot only? I still dont fully understand most of these innerworkings, so if it seems like an easy answer to you, its not to me.

I've got 2.6 from the sparc-dev-sources booting. It took a few rebuilds to turn off options that were failing.

FYI for those with second video cards - 2.6 seems to probe the framebuffers ignoring the openfirmware settings. This means that if I compile the Mach64 and Creator3D console support into the kernel then the console is connected to the onboard console rather than my Elite3D which is my primary display.

Also, with 2.6 X will not start. The problem seems to be that the afb firmware is not loaded. (However my startup scripts are supposed to load the firmware during boot by the afbinit script.) If I manually try to load the firmware using afbinit /dev/fb0 then the machine hangs forcing a power cycle.

Hi all list!
I'm new in sparc world and now I want to use an OLD SparcServer10 as firewall. So i download sparc-dev-kernel and I merging it... but later?
There's nothing like lspci to known what's inside my machine?
tks, Dnix

How about the 2.6.2-rc2 ebuild that came out recently? I tried it last night on a Sparc 20 and got something like "the image is too big to load". I'm just waiting for it to rebuild with as much stuff modularised as possible.

Modules don't work for sparc32 with 2.6.x, so you'll have to really cut your kernel down. They might work by 2.6.3, if wesolows' latest magic does the trick, but right now they're a no go. Also note that SMP won't boot (hell, it won't even compile) with sparc32.
